For the following statements about chemical equations, check the boxes that represent true statements. (Select all that apply.) |The identities of chemical compounds can be changed when balancing a chemical equation. When balancing a chemical equation, you can never change the coefficient of any chemical formula. Chemical equations tell us the identities of the reactants and the products. In a chemical equation, the reactants are on the right and the products are on the left. When balancing a chemical equation, you can never change the subscripts of any chemical formula.
